Mouloud

Mouloud was a PFLP fighter who was a member of the "Mohamed Boudia Commando" during the 1970s. Mouloud was one of the men who was sent to work with Michel Moukharbal and Carlos the Jackal in France during Wadie Haddad's terrorist campaign in Western Europe, and Mouloud and Carlos were sent to blow up an El Al plane on the runway at Orly Airport. In the ensuing attack, Mouloud fired an RPG-7 missile at the landing El Al plane, but he was shaken by the power of the RPG blast, leading to the shell punching a hole in the windshield of their car behind him, as well as to the rocket hitting a nearby Yugoslav plane. Mouloud attempted to fire a second rocket, but it hit an airport building in the distance. Regardless, Carlos chose him to try the attack again on 19 January, but French police managed to thwart the attack before it could take place. Mouloud and the other terrorists escaped by taking hostages, and Mouloud managed to escape on a plane to Baghdad, Iraq after taking hostages.
